TWELVE PEOPLE MURDERED.
Trapped by Half-Breed Indian and MUIR
dered with an Iron Bar.

PIERRE, Oak, Dec. 30.-For months degree
of mystery has surrounded the movements of
John LaBlant. Sioux Indian half breed, whose
ranch is at Willow creek fifteen miles west of
the city, the old Deadwood stage road.
upon the Sioux reservation. LaBlant's ranch
was stopping place in the Black Hills for
travellers during the early days. Many people
who left Pierre for the hills were never
heard from after leaving the city. A few
days ago LaBlant was detected in stealing
cattle. and ne left for parts unknown. Yester-
day thorough Investigation of the premises
was made, and in one bedroom of the house. in
front of the bed, was observed what appeared 10
be an opening. or trap door, This was found to
be hung on hinges, that it would drop when
a cord was pulled, the cord extending from a
bolt under the floor to room occupied by La
Blant. The opening under the trap was twelve
feet deep and fourteen feet square. An exam
ination or the cavern revealed the skeletons
of twelve grown human beings and two smaller
ones. supposed to be women or largesized boys.
No clothing was found in the hole, the only ar
ticle of any kind discovered being an iron bar
about two feet in length. which, it is supposed,
the fiend used TO murder his victims after he had
dropped them down. As the affair occurred on
the Indian reservation, this county will not take
any steps to secure arrests, the reservation being
outside OF the county jurisdiction.

4 Beautiful Tribute to the Virtues Of Woman
Whom He Knew in His Younger Days.

New YORK, Dec. 30-Mrs Ida Whiting
Knowles. wife of the Hon. Howard Knowles,
late United States collector at Peoria, Ill, died
in this city on Dec. 10. She was an estimable
woman, and leaves a wide circle of friends to
mourn her early death. Before her remains
were sent to the West, Col Robt. 6. Ingers oil
delivered the following tribute to her memory:
my friends, again we stand in the shadow of
the great mystery, a shadow as deep and dark
when the tears of the first mother fell upon
the pallid face of her lifeless babe-a mystery
that has never yet been solved. We have met
the presence of the sacred dead, to speak q
word of praise, of hope, of consolation. An
other life of love is now blessed memory-a
lingering strain of music. The loving daughter,
the pure and concentrated wife, the sincere
friend. who with tender faithfulness discharged
the duties of life, has reached their journeys
spirit, claspng the loved, and by them clasped,
never passed from life to enrich the realms of
death. No field of war ever witnessed greater
fortitude. more perfect, smiling courage than
this poor. weak and helpless woman displayed
upon the bed of pain and death Her life was
gentle, and her death sublime. She loved the
good. and all the good loved her. But there is
this consolation: She can never suffer more;
never part again from those she loved. Her
heart can break no more. She has shed her
last tear, and upon her stainless brow has been
set the wondrous seal of everlasting peace.
When the angels of death-the masked and
voiceless-enters the door of home, there come
with her all the daughters of compassion. and
of these love and hope remain forever You are
about to take the dear dust hone-to the home
of her girlhood and to the place that was once
my home. You will lay her with neighbors
that have loved. and are now at rest. You
will lay her where my father sleeps. All 1 can
say is: Lay her in the EARTH and from her fair
and unpolluted flesh let violets spring 1 never
knew, never met a braver spirit than the one
that once inhabited this silent form of dreamless

an Elderly Damsels Eyes.

WATERTowN, n. Y. Dec. 30.-AIiss Sarah IS.
Chellis, thirty-eight years of age. and teacher
in Of the public schools of this city, has
sued John B. Chapman, aged seventy-four, for
So, 600 damages, alleged to have been sustained
by his refusal to make her his bride. Miss
Chellis is a rather prepossessing lady and quite
prominent in social circles. She alleges that
the lover agreed to marry her in June, 1856
Afterward IL was arranged between them that
the affair be postponed until Sept Is. From
that date it was again set down for the 23d day
of the same month. Then she learned that he
had taken itupon himself to break off the match
entirely. so she sued him.
Mr.. Chapman is Il bachelor, and lives with a
maiden sister on farm in the town of Rodman.
Twelve miles from the abode of Miss Chels.
He has lots of land and plenty of money, yet he
has the reputation of being the most parsimoni-
pus individual in his town. He is afflicted with
rheumatism bowed with age. and his dress on
most occasions would stamp him as an inmate
Of the county-house. Altogether, he is one of
the most unattractive and ungainly lovers that
Cupid ever tackled.
The people of Waterfowl are quite familiar
with the face and figure of Mr.. Chapman. His
custom in years past has been to come to town
I'm summer barefooted and ragged When the
cold blasts OF winter swept down from the
Adriondacks he did not surprise those who
knew him because he put in an appearance
without overcoat. and wearing straw hat.
While courting Miss Chellis he thought new
quit of store clothes was necessary to help along
his little affair of the heart, he bought or
hired them AS the outfit was only for the
eye of the lady in question. very few people
saw him well dressed. His custom was to come
TO town in his old and tattered clothing, which
he exchanged for the only long enough to
pay his respects to his lady love, Miss ChelHs
saw him IN one garb, and the people in another.
These are only few peculiarities of the aged
wooer
In his answer to the complaint of Miss Chel-
lis, Mr.. Chapman denies the promise to marry
and says he is afflicted with rheumatism disease

remaining several minutes at a time and
that he is physically unable to enter into the

symptoms, it is believed that the defendant will
be on hand and make vigorous defense when
the case comes to trial at the March term of the

They say that Villas has wrought enough injury
to the country as Postmaster-general by his
cheese-p pairing and false economy. and that he
should not be permitted to enter a new field and
blight the enterprise and development of the
country. It is known that Lamar is very much
disturbed over the outlook. and he has refused
a number of occasions to receive the conerat-
ulations of friends. lie always tells them they
should wait until he is in fact an Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court before they con-
gratulate him. Very few Democrats approve OF
the appointment OF Dickinson to be Postmaster
general. and il begins to look. in view OF the
feeling against Lamar and the disapproval of
the transfer of Villas. as though the President
had not made very sagacious movement IN the
reorganization Of his Cabinet and the filling OF
the Supreme Bench, aside from the general un-
fitness OF MIR. Lamar.
